Maple Ridge

The City of Maple Ridge partnered with SCOPE in 2014 through Parks and Recreation Services. Shortly thereafter in collaboration with the School District, they developed and piloted a noon-hour program for elementary schools featuring Live 5-2-1-0, physical literacy and Play It Fair content. The program was so well received a second round of pilot testing is currently underway.

Sharing & Supporting Live 5-2-1-0
